My first turn on a bulkhead wall was at my first meet...Mountain View Masters was the location. I made the mistake of not warming up in the main pool which really threw me off when my events came up. Turning off the flat wall was something I had never done but what really messed me up was the markings on the bottom of the pool. This was a SCM meet and I had only swam SCY before this. When I saw the T coming up on the pool floor I was preparing to turn but the wall was nowhere to be found. Then came another T but it was spaced a bit further from the wall than I had anticipated. It was a lot of fun but I learned to always warm up in the main pool if possible...especially in an unfamiliar pool.
